is having a good season and that is not going unnoticed. The PEC Zwolle midfielder has come into the spotlight of FC Twente, which sees the 24-year-old playmaker as a possible replacement for Michal Sadílek. That knows FCUpdatejournalist Mounir Boualin to report. Sadílek has an expiring contract with FC Twente and seems to be embarking on a new adventure after this season.
Van den Berg settled at PEC Zwolle in the summer of 2022. The club was relegated to the Kitchen Champion Division a few months ago and made every effort to return to the highest level as quickly as possible. PEC Zwolle succeeded in this and an important role was reserved for Van den Berg, among others. He scored three goals and seven assists in 33 games, making him an important contributor to promotion to the Eredivisie.

The attacking midfielder, who has also played for FC Utrecht and Roda JC in the past, is also showing a good side in the Eredivisie. Van den Berg is an indispensable part of the Zwolle midfield and, in addition to four goals, was good for two assists. His achievements and development have not gone unnoticed. If Sadílek leaves FC Twente this summer, the current number three in the Eredivisie could simply turn to PEC Zwolle. Although Sadílek has an expiring contract, FC Twente has the option to extend it for a year. According to Boualin, it is expected that the club will do this in order to earn something from the midfielder in the summer.
If the Czech leaves, Van den Berg may come into the picture. In addition to FC Twente, a number of clubs from the Championship – the second English level – are also interested in the attacking midfielder from PEC Zwolle. Although Van den Berg still has a contract in Zwolle until mid-2025, his current employer is taking into account a departure after this season. Van den Berg could be the next important force from the ‘promotion team’ to leave the club. PEC Zwolle said goodbye to Thomas van den Belt, Thomas Beelen and Younes Taha last summer. The latter switched to FC Twente for more than one million euros.
FC Twente would be a nice next step for Van den Berg
